Can I utilize fractional HR services if I already have an HR team?

Of course! We love working with organizations that have HR professionals in place. Whether you have one employee managing your HR program or a team of HR professionals, we can fill in your expertise gaps or provide services that will easily grow with your organization’s needs.

Can I use fractional HR services if I already have a PEO?

Yes! Many of our clients utilize PEO services. While PEOs can be a great way to combine payroll, benefits, and basic HR compliance into an easy-to-use platform, they can be less than ideal for organizations that value having a single point of contact that knows their employees, their business and their culture. Our team has experience working for PEOs and with PEOs. This gives us the unique ability to make sure you are getting the most from your PEO relationship.

Do I have to change my current providers, systems, or platforms?

Not at all! Unlike a PEO, Grey Owl HR will work within the systems you already have in place. Once we have gotten to know you and your business, we may identify opportunities for greater efficiency, cost savings, or better employee experience. Because we have worked with so many different providers, systems, and platforms, we have the ability to make suggestions that will better fit your organization’s needs.

How does fractional HR work?

The first meeting we have with new clients consists of a thorough assessment of your company’s HR practices. With this information, we identify priorities and establish an action plan that is reviewed and updated each quarter. An HR Expert is assigned to your organization, who serves as your company’s daily HR resource. Plus, our team of subject matter experts is available to address specialized HR functions such as compensation planning, employee leave administration, benefits administration, and payroll administration.

Do you work onsite?

At Grey Owl HR, your assigned HR Expert engages remotely to understand your business and employees and acts as an extension of your team. Plus, your HR Expert is backed by a team of HR professionals who can step in when needed to support your team rather than just providing support when they are there in person. We can be available to work on-site in specific circumstances. For example, in-person training or third-party harassment investigation. But, we have found that most HR support can be accomplished virtually.

Can we choose what HR processes to keep in-house?

Of course! The benefit of utilizing fractional HR is that we can break things down into separate services to fit your organization’s needs. And if you need additional services along the way, no problem! All HR services are available to our clients as they need them.
